Sometimes silence and stillness is needed while waiting.

In silence, you get to reflect on life and meditate on the next step to take.

While the world is in a rat race to a location where rats finish.

Giants separate themselves in waiting to discover the next move.
..for David enquired of the Lord...

The book of Acts is the best pattern for our work.

In Acts we do not see someone "consecrating to be a preacher," "deciding to do the Lord's work," "becoming a missionary," or "becoming a pastor," etc.

Rather, we see the Holy Spirit Himself appointing people and sending people to work. God does not recruit men to give themselves for the work.

God only sends the persons whom He wants. We do not see anyone choosing to do a work himself; only God selects the laborers for His work.

There is no place for the thought of man's flesh. If God wants something, even a Saul will not be able to resist.

If God does not want something, even a Simon will not be able to buy it with money.
As the Lord of all, God controls His own work, not allowing even a little part of man to be mixed in with it.

Man does not come to work; rather, God "sends out" the laborers. Therefore, spiritual work must begin with a personal calling from the Lord Himself.

One must not go forth to work because of the entreaty of preachers, the urging of relatives and friends, or the affinity of his own nature to the Holy Word. Only those who are not wearing fleshly shoes can stand upon the holy ground of God's work.

Much failure, waste, and confusion happen because man himself comes to work rather than being sent to work.

*FELLOWSHIP* is the distinguishing mark of Christians, knowing that we are one body with Christ(literally),we should work together as partners in fulfilling His plans.

Not having fellowship with the body of Christ (The Church) means not being a partner or even a partaker of what He offers the body.

*Rom.12.5 - So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.*

There is only one body(one focus) which is Christ and many other parts (you and I) which are supposed to help achieve the purpose of the FOCUS(Christ).

Brethren let's know that in Christ we are one, don't let the enemy or the devil deceive you that you have no role to play in the growth of the Church(Fellowship) or it doesn't concern you.

What concern's God is supposed to be your concern - The devil tool is to divide/isolate and conquer/destroy.

DON'T BE A STRANGER IN THE FELLOWSHIP (BODY OF CHRIST)

1Pet.2.17 - Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

DON'T ENCOURAGE DISCORD
PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
🙏

BEFORE KATHRYN KUHLMAN
there also was a black woman that God had his hands mightily upon named Elder Lucy!

(This part of info I did not write) 👉🏽 Lucy Turner Smith, also known as Elder Lucy Smith, was the first black woman to build and pastor a megachurch in Chicago, which was named All Nations Pentecostal Church.
She saw an estimated “200,000” miracles and healings in her ministry.

The greatest encouragement from Elder Lucy Smith was "just be yourself."

She was known to have little regard for grammar, and she never tried to be oratorical.

She would at times calmly talk and move around as she preached or ministered, but when she prayed for the sick, manners of sickness and disease would be healed.

What she in man's eyes, God's power greatly compensated!

Lucy was born on January 14, 1875 in Woodstock, Georgia, and birth named: Lucinda Madden.

She was born in a "little one-room log cabin" where she and 5 siblings were raised solely by their mother.

She gave her life to the Lord at the age of 12 and began school for the first time in her life at the age of 13.

She went on to marry and have nine children, but she was abandoned by her husband and decided to move to Chicago in 1910.

After being in the city a couple of years, Elder Lucy joined a predominantly white Pentecostal church called Stone Church.

It was known for its incredible healing services.

The most well-known divine healing ministers of the time regularly ministered there: William Seymour, Smith Wiggelsworth, John G. Lake, Maria Woodworth Etter.

It was in this atmosphere of miracles where she received her personal calling into the divine healing ministry.

Lucy began a "one-room prayer meeting" in her own house with only two people. The meeting grew quickly as many were being healed and baptized with The Holy Ghost.

Three years later they moved out to a larger facility. After 10 years, in 1926, she built a $65,000 church (equivalent to one million dollars today) and by the 1930s, had nearly 5,000 members.

She said that the healing services were the reason for such growth.
The healing services at All Nation Pentecostal Church were phenomenal. Elder Lucy Smith would hold healing services three times a week.

The deaf, the blind, the crippled, the lame, stroke victims, and those with goiters and cancers were healed weekly.

The basement of the church was "decorated" with the crutches and canes of many who had been healed. Lucy traveled across the state of Illinois and abroad, taking God's healing power and seeing several hundreds healed and saved.

She was popular with people of all classes and color who would come from near and far.
God spoke to Lucy and told her to broadcast the services over the radio.

This broadcast became known as "The Glorious Church of the Air" radio program in 1933. It was the first LIVE service to ever be broadcast from a black church.

It would often result in letters coming in from all over the country, telling how people had been healed as she prayed.

The radio program also helped fund the tremendous charity work the church did. They fed thousands of people during the Great Depression and provided food and clothing to black families in the city.

(Lucy Smith is a primary example of what tremendous exploits God can do with a simple yielded vessel.

She didn't try to be more than she was. She simply knew what she was called to, and she stuck to it. Lucy died on June 18th, 1952 and over 60,000 people came to show their respects. It was the largest funeral in Chicago history.

WATCHMAN NEE SERIES : PART 2

THE BLOOD THAT SATISFIES GOD:

We may be weak, but looking at our weakness

will never make us strong.

No trying to feel bad and doing penance will

help us to be even a little holier.

There is no help there, so let us be bold in our

approach because of the Blood:

`Lord, I do not know fully what the value of the

Blood is, but I know that the Blood has satisfied

Thee; so the Blood is enough for me, and it is

my only plea.

I see now that whether I have really progressed,

whether I have really attained to something or

not, is not the point. Whenever I come

before Thee, it is always on the ground of the

precious Blood.

Then our conscience is really clear before God.

No conscience could ever be clear apart from

the Blood.

It is the Blood that gives us boldness.

"No more conscience of sins": these are

tremendous words of Hebrews 10:2.

We are cleansed from every sin; and we may

truly echo the words of Paul:

"Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not

reckon sin" (Romans 4:8).

A SERIES BY WATCHMAN NEE

WATCHMAN NEE:

Some of us, oppressed by our own weakness, may at times have been tempted to think
that there are sins which are almost unforgivable.
Let us remember the word:
"The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from every sin."
Big sins, small sins, sins which may be very black and sins which appear to be not so black, sins which I think can be forgiven and sins which seem unforgivable, yes, all sins,
conscious or unconscious, remembered
or forgotten, are included in those words: "every sin".

"The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin", and it does so because in the first place it satisfies God.

The blood of Jesus is enough for God.

"I bring no other arguement, I bring no other plea, it's enough that Jesus died and that He died for me and for you"
